    Wood inside bow pulpit

    Since I don't trailer, I have considered using the bow ring for some supports as shown above. Why drill more holes and add hardware ? Might be the simplest / cleanest solution, similar to the photo above. Yup ...

    Wood inside bow pulpit

    I have a 1995 2520 that I bought in 2002, it had no pulpit. I ordered the "pulpit kit' from Parker which included the bow rail section to be installed. On boats with no pulpit, the cleats are mounted on the rail, which is actually a nice feature. To secure the pulpit, a large plate was used...

    New Gas Tank

    So I haven't been on here in a long time, why ? My Parker has been great. My 1995 2520 DVSC has been fished hard, second engine, has spent at least 18 winters in the water on LI and fished year round. The fuel tank did not fail, but I wanted piece of mind so made the call. The benefit of this...

    Breaker Panel / Wiring Upgrade 1995 25DVSC Emily S

    The new terminal block, joins the original Parker wiring harness (lights, pumps, etc) . I removed the flimsy, but I must say reliable disconnect, discarded the lighter guage wire above the disconnect, and wired the heavier wire below into the terminal block. I made a 10 position harness to go...

    Breaker Panel / Wiring Upgrade 1995 25DVSC Emily S

    The current shunt connected in the return (negative) line of the boat. All current, except drawn or provided by the outboard is monitored at this point. So, you can see the main wire ground on the bottom, fanning out to grounds for the panel, fuse block, and general purpose ground block. The...

    Breaker Panel / Wiring Upgrade 1995 25DVSC Emily S

    The rear of the new breaker panel, with a new harness that meets up with the original Parker wiring at a terminal block. I removed the Parker disconnect, and wired the heavier wire (boat side) into the terminal block shown in another picture below. Still need to clean up the horn, etc, minor...

    Breaker Panel / Wiring Upgrade 1995 25DVSC Emily S

    My 95' Parker had the old panel with the separate breakers, switches, jumpers, etc which were a source of constant aggravation. Also, my electronics package and accessories had evolved over time, making for a sloppy installation and birds nest in progress, plus an overloaded fuse block. This...

    Safety Gear

    Oh boy, tough crowd, lot's of inputs are constructive, that's good. Your EPRIB with GPS will broadcast it's precise location. Without GPS, they will head to the approximate area then use a direction finder to PRECISELY home in on your beacon. If they go past you the DF tells them as the...

    Safety Gear

    I actually had something very good to say, suggesting you get an EPIRB if you don't have one is a very sound piece of advice......

    Safety Gear

    With all due respect, who needs that when they can home in on your EPIRB beacon, day or night ?? An EPIRB is your best investment followed by a RAFT, followed by a survival suit. If you are really serious about safety wear your PFD at all times. Oh, not that serious ? Me neither, maybe let's...

    How do you remove the side-facing seat bases in a 2520?

    So, can it be done without cutting ? If so, please share. Note that I have not attempted this myself. My gut is that it should be doable. Then again, I hear otherwise.

    How do you remove the side-facing seat bases in a 2520?

    Cut it in pieces, YUP, thats what my buddy ended up doing. Apparently, you can not remove the companion seat from the PH without proper application of the sawzall. .....

    Icom504 and LCX27 installed

    Doug, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but if someone isn't what is the point of this website ? This is my 2 cents. FWIW, I've been doing this for like 40 years (I'm 47). Your installation has some serious flaws. First, I'm not sure why you mounted your electronics on such long...

    double anchor rig

    You don't want anyone on the bow, especially during OUR TOG season. plus you dont want to store excess line up there, could create a big mess. Line is stored in two orange shrimp baskets, in the cockpit. Each will hold about 900' of 3/8 line which will double anchor you just about anywhere you...

    Fogging Yamaha 4 Stroke

    This will be the first year I puled my Parker with F250 so I've been thinking about this too. According to the yamaha owners manual "remove plugs, poor 1 teaspoon of Yamaha motor oil into each cylinder. Turn over the engine manually a few times". Replace the spark plugs. Seems like a good...

    Some other, non-Parker boats at the 2008 Annapolis Boat Show

    Nice stuff with the one exception (the ugly one). Here on Long island we have a name for them, "bleach bottles". When viewd from the side thats about all they look like. That one just added a little color. .... The boat with the fold down transom is neat, I haven't seen that before and it...

    I was on the new 34 Parker today Hull #1.

    It's not about GPH it's about MPG. This boat will compare favorably to a similar sized DE from an economy standpoint, plus you get the speed and twin engine piece of mind. Anyone who thinks DE's are the end all probably hasn't been on one. Most run poorly down sea, roll incessesantly, and are...
